I have to say, when I was 8 years old, I didn't know what a soufflé was. I've never owned a ramekin and wouldn't have been able to point one out in a line-up of bakeware. But Sierra had taken this book out of the library and the recipe she wanted to try first was a soufflé. When you say you are unschooling and your daughter decides she wants to try to make a soufflé, you help her make a soufflé. Here is the play by play. (
Note: Please ignore the mess. It was the first cool day we've had in a while and so I chose the optimum baking time over a neat kitchen.)
You might notice the souffles slowly sinking from this point on. I think she over-mixed when she folded in the egg whites. This is why I've never tried a soufflé. Too temperamental. I'm not patient with sensitive food.
Slightly concave, but very tasty. An excellent job for her first time!

Would Sierra like to come visit me? I have nieces who will give me a recommendation . . .
They look very tasty!
Whateveer you called them, the picture of the suffle got my attention and made me want a taste.
Keep it up, Sierra. I love your experiments.
Love, Buelo
Way to go Chef Sierra - next time she comes to visit, she must bring her cook book!
Love, Aunt Linda
Well I certainly know why Sierra chose chocolate! Despite what the cooking channel says, I say taste trumps presentation any day. Any way, the souffles look great. Love, Grandma
